Dustin Triplett

I'm an award-winning writer (yes, really), web designer, game maker, published poet (not even joking), and...now that you mention it, is there anything I can't do? Oh, that's right - I can't dance.

I used to be a video game journalist, writing for the likes of Front Towards Gamer, Yahoo, Examiner, College Life, and The Gamer Zone. But most notably, I co-founded the website Geekenstein and co-hosted the podcast Nuts and Bolts. I don't write about games very often these days, mostly due to the fact I've been thoroughly enjoying making games. Conflict of interest and all that jazz.

I have a degree in English and a diploma in Photography, so I like to think I know a thing or two about the written word and how to frame the world around me. During my time at East Central College I was a multimedia editor for the school newspaper, magazine, and website. In addition, I was the editor-in-chief for ECC's Literary Review.

Pretty sure I also won first place in ECC's 2016 Creative Non-fiction Writing Contest. Not to toot my own horn or anything but, you know, toot.
